Easter Weekend

"In the bonds of death He lay,
Who for our offense was slain;
But the Lords is risen today,
Christ has brought us life again!
Wherefore, let us all rejoice,
Singing loud, with cheerful voice,
Hallelujah!:
-Martin Luther

For the first time in years, Easter weekend was absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful blue sky, gorgeous weather and nice temperature. Friday was so nice that we went to a little old cemetery in Morrow County and did some transcribing and took a bunch of photos. It was on this gravel road, though, which caused so much dust it was unbelievable! We ran to Kroger in Mansfield afterward to get some produce and things. Saturday, Dad had a chiropractic appointment so Sarah and I decided to go with him. We had a lovely day out together. Ran a few errands, ate lunch out together at Subway and then got home in the early afternoon.

Sunday we went to Church with the Keultjeses. Then we went to their house for lunch. The girls were up from Kentucky, so it was nice to get to see them. Mrs. Keultjes and Mom and Dad hid eggs around the yard and all of us had to hunt for them! That was quite fun. Their cousin Nathan was there, too, so all of us had different colour eggs to find! Really fun!

Mom and Dad actually made us Easter baskets for the first time in years. It was really fun. Since candy isn't a big deal, they got each of us a big container of gold fish! We each got a charm for our charm bracelet and a hanging cross decoration. I got a beautiful window decoration which is painted glass (to look like stained glass) that pictures two black-capped chickadees in a bush with berries. It is absolutely gorgeous, hanging in my kitchen window! Also got a cool hummingbird feeder that not the typical shape. Hope it will help with the ant problem and shading the sugar water from the sun. :o)

I ahve also had a wonderful four days researching Harold Swetland. However, since it might be a bit long. I am going to do a separate blog entry for that! ;o)
